الملخص EN

Gender, teaching and learning have gained a great interest in the field of education.

In the scope of language teaching, the importance of teacher gender tends to be even more crucial.

The purpose of this article is to highlight the significance of the influence of EFL teachers' gender on secondary school pupils' academic performance.

The sample of this study consisted of (170) pupils who were asked to frankly answer the questionnaire's (17) questions about their teachers of English, so that the latter can benefit from this feedback when possible in adjusting their methods of teaching.

Findings of the study have revealed that the gender of the English language teacher has a significant effect on pupils' achievements since pupils of both genders' answers have unveiled their preference to be taught by EFL female teachers.
